The third instructional activity in a series, this resource narrows in on two aspects of documentary films: focus and angle. After a brief explanation of the terms, class members view a student-made film and identify the topic, focus, and angle. They share with a partner and come together as a class for a full discussion. To close the class, film groups get together to talk about their topics, focuses, and angles.
